An HMO bedroom upgrade refits a letting room so it is more comfortable and easier to let: built-in storage, a proper desk space, better lighting and sockets, sound-reducing doors, durable flooring and fresh decoration. Greenford is 10 miles west of London. We price bedroom upgrades and room refits there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

Which rules apply in Greenford?
Bedroom upgrades and room refits in Greenford must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
